Hello! Australian popping in, hope you don't mind. We've had compulsory voting here since 1924. On the latest data from the last federal election, the percentage of wasted votes (informal votes) is circa 5%. So, you're getting a very good representation of that the electorate actually wants.

Having grown up with compulsory voting, I can't understand people who don't vote.

Thanks!

@WarnerCrocker

This, precisely.

I've been to enough political rallies in my life to know how well they can encourage and fill the crowds with energy, but unless there are actual actions to be taken, they're just a nice day out.

I hate to say it, but this is all too little, too late. The only way to send a dictatorship is with the way they've always been ended. I won't use the word that starts with v here, but that's just fact. That's historical fact.

To be fair, he wouldn't have gotten pneumonia from walking home in a snowstorm. Being at home or other enclosed spaces with someone infected with a respiratory illness - yes. Being in the cold? No. Amazing person, just the same.

@georgetakei

Oh, so it's not just happening to me, then?!

Grrrrrrr.

Firstly, I'm gobsmacked that @ABC news even has this article...but of course, it's full of the same tired old tropes.

We are ALL vulnerable.

I've been saying for days, there will be a military coup. Which, in this case, I think will be a good thing.

I know, it's hard to get your head around. Take care.

@ekis @GhostOnTheHalfShell

How could it open himself up to arrest? He will own the Justice dept, SCOTUS - all of it.

@GhostOnTheHalfShell @rbreich

I keep saying this.

People talking about how to get through the next four years.

It won't be four years.

It won't be trump - it will be Vance and possibly De Santis after that.

@GhostOnTheHalfShell

I hope that I am completely and entirely wrong, but I'm not fully sure that I am. They will do everything and anything, including (& I do think this will happen) arresting Biden, Harris, Walz, Obama and many others within minutes of being inaugurated.

@ekis

Thank you, I'm just looking at LibreOffice right now after someone else kindly sent me a link. It's so frustrating and just another thing that we really shouldn't need to be spending time on. Thank you 😀

Just opened a new word document and got this.

I am so fucking over all of this.

What's a good alternative to Microsoft 365? Thanks.

Valencia, Spain currently being hit with moderate to heavy rainfall, with significant local flooding.

This is not normal.

Gosh, it was only last week we were told that #HurricaneHelene was the most rapidly intensifying on record.

A reminder, were it needed, about who Trump really is.

If we consider even 40% of the world population has had #COVID19 at least once, that is 40% of all people have some level of brain damage. From #brainfog to #dementia.
Are we taking this into consideration?
They're running government, driving trains & buses, flying planes, performing surgery. I think it's time we start giving serious consideration to the fact that many people we rely on are most likely brain damaged to some degree & possibly shouldn't be in their jobs.

That's actually the definition of a cult.
